The Lakewood Cheder School, the largest school in Lakewood, has announced an adjustment to its academic calendar, with the upcoming school year set to begin earlier than usual at the request of the Vaad Hachinuch.

In a notice sent to parents, the school confirmed that the final day of classes for the 2025–2026 school year will be Thursday, July 9. The next school year, 2026–2027, is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, August 19 – approximately one week earlier than in previous years.

Despite the break being the same length as other years, parents are encouraged to take note of the updated dates and plan the summer break accordingly.
